He also was invited by Napoleon Bonaparte to the institute of France to demonstrate his invention to the members of the Institute. After that, he won the chair of the experimental physics at the university of Pavia. The SI unit of electric potential is named in his honour as the Volt.

My favourite sportsperson

My favourite sportsperson is Diego Milito. He was born in Bernal, in 1979 and he was a football player. He began his career on 2001 at the age of 20 in the Racing club, an Argentinian football team. On 2004, he went to Genoa and he played there for one year, but with his transfer in the F.C. Inter he wrote the history. In that year, he won many trophies, like the Championship, the Cup Italia and the Champions cup, also known like the famous "Treble". One year later, he awarded "The UEFA club footballer of the year". This year he retired from football. I like him because he wrote a page of history of my favourite football team and he remained in the heart of us Inter fans.

Black

My favourite colour is black. Black is the absorption of all colour and the absence of light. We all use black at various times in the world, in one way or another. On the psychological plain, black has positive and negative traits. This colour gives protection, strenght and it rapresents endings and beginnings; but it also includes depression, pessimism, sadness and negativity.

Bio poem

The world of journalism

The world of journalism has given the English language a great number of expressions. An important key for a journalist is scoop. This is a major news story. It described a story that a journalist discovered before his rivals. Another key journalism word is source. A source is a person who gives a journalist information for a story, instead many new stories, particularly scandals, use the suffix gate. This began with the scandal of the 1970s. Spin is more recent expression. This means to control a story, and to manipulate journalists and public opinion.
